VegasLand After Dark: Paris gets stroked by Boyfriend Benji and Unveils MTV Girls, While Kelly Carlson and Killers’ Dave Keuning Mingle

As usual, Paris was an hour or so late to her own red carpet at the Venetian's Tao Friday night. But she did deliver the goods for stargazers and photogs. She posed with women contestants from her new MTV show, "My New BFF."

Well, I say they were women because they were tall like women, and they seemed to be women-esque, although they were referred officially as "girls." Who's quibbling? They were girls, I guess.

They sang, they danced, they drank. I split after the red carpet. So says the PR for the event: Paris toasted the girls with a warm and hearty, "Cheers, bitches!" First class isn't just for airlines.

Paris' boyfriend, Good Charlotte guitarist Benji Madden, stroked her lower back while she lap-sat him.

The other white meat appeared, Nicky Hilton, with her man David Katzenberg, the son of Dreamworks' Jeffrey Katzenberg and formerly known as Mary Kate Olsen's boyfriend.

Vegas comedy entrepreneur Jeff Beacher showed up and looked somewhat stealthier, since he's lost a bunch of weight. He seemed very proud of that. He did look healthier.

Also in Tao: Kelly Carlson (Kimber from "Nip/Tuck") and Killers guitarist Dave Keuning. Meanwhile, there were one gazillion tourists crowding the outside of Tao trying to A) figure out why all the media was there, and B) gawking.
